Gizmo, does this mean that you have simply collected these kernels during all the time and never removed old kernels from your system? I do not know where to find old kernels for testing.

Yep, I found Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic in one of my old backups. Too bad Ubuntu doesn't maintain a repository of kernels from previous daily builds. And actually, I'm surprised that they don't. Oh well.

Regarding Ubuntu 13.04: I just noticed that I am NOT restricted to a resolution of 1024x768 when using a kernel from an earlier daily build. Rather, mirroring works properly again in Ubuntu 13.04 with the Linux 3.8.0-7-generic kernel. Mirroring may also work with kernels that are more recent than 3.8.0-7. But other than with 3.8.0-19 (with which mirroring doesn't work properly), I haven't yet had a chance to test more recent kernels. Of possible interest to some, rolling back to Linux 3.8.0-7-generic also cured a recent problem in which HDMI audio wasn't working with my Radeon card. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/897008 So the problem seems to integral to the recent kernels updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1167301 Title: REGRESSION: Mirroring display works only with 1024x768 (4:3) resolution whereas my laptop has 1366x768 (16:9) and the external monitor 1920x1080 (16:9) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1167301/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Regarding Ubuntu 13.04: In addition to working properly with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic kernel, mirroring also works properly in Ubuntu 13.04 with the mainline 3.8.0 kernel. However, at least for me, mirroring does NOT work properly in Ubuntu 13.04 with the mainline 3.8.1 kernel or with the mainline 3.8.2 kernel.

Usually you go to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux and tehn click Full ChangeLog at the upper right. But for the kernel the data has grown too big for Launchpad to deliver it.

Thanks Till. I tested a few more mainline kernels, including 3.8.3, 3.8.4, 3.8.5, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8. Unfortunately, mirroring also doesn't work properly with any of those tested mainline kernels. So at present, at least for me, the only relatively recent kernels that properly support mirroring in Ubuntu 13.04 on my AMD Radeon HD6670 are: Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic Mainline 3.8.0 I hope to perform a clean install soon after Ubuntu 13.04 is officially released. If this bug hasn't been fix by then, I'd like to revert to one of the above kernels after the clean install. But unfortunately, if Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic isn't readily available for download at that time, I'll likely be forced to use mainline 3.8.0. So here's hoping that older (pre-release) Ubuntu kernels will be available after the official release of Ubuntu 13.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1167301 Title: REGRESSION: Mirroring display works only with 1024x768 (4:3) resolution whereas my laptop has 1366x768 (16:9) and the external monitor 1920x1080 (16:9) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1167301/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
